This is not fair !  Now I wish I didn't know your 
rendering time for this image. :(


I like the texture. How did you do that ?


I envy your possibilities to explore these worlds.

Looks like some kind of revolting organic microscopy... :)

I had a slow-assed P-200 until just a month ago. I feel for you.

I used pretty much the same method you used except I specified
a granite piment pattern and then used multiple colered lights
to give the actual color to the scene.

object {
   Toroid_Noise
      pigment { granite
       color_map {
                   [0.0 rgb .35]
                   [0.5 rgb .50]
                   [.75 rgb .35]
                   [1.0 rgb .75]
                 }
                scale .5
               }
      normal { granite .25 scale .35}
  no_shadow
}

I envy your ability to understand isosurfaces and the math
behind them. I merely took your work and expanded upon it.


Have you tried feeding it a quilted pigment yet ? I have been
getting some interesting results using various slopes in the
pattern.

Thanks.

I based a good portion of this on Tor's toroidal iso-noise
source posted a while back. I then modified it to make it
my own. Unfortunately the original source for the image I
posted has since gone through serveral revisions and I doubt
I could recreate it if I wanted to. I am having way too much
fun with this stuff ! :)

Thank you Ken.

When I saw Greg M. Johnson's Cell city I thought that maybe
it was many pattern types that I hadn't seen yet.

So I browsed through the documentation and found the quilted
pattern, which I had never used before. I did a little test 
with this pattern as well, but I was to tired to actual read 
the documentation for this pattern. So the results that I got 
wasn't what I thought they would be.

But now I'm very interested to see what images came from 
your experiments with this pattern.

It was mainly designed for use in normal statements which
coincidentally makes it ideally suited for isosurface work :)

Ooops... I have been trying so many things, and not saving
them, that I really have no working examples to share with
you. Last night I started playing with patterned pigments
and isosufaces. Wheee.....

Now, Ken! I did suggest the anal approach after all. Every time you see a
cool result save your source under a new name. :)

I have well over 1000 .pov and .inc files because of compulsive file
saving activities over the years. Sometimes it is just fun to throw
caution to the wind and....

Ahem! Only 1000? I would guess that would make things tidy, but...

I'll do a global search real quick...

Well! I'm shocked! Only 29,987 files. I must be slipping... :)

I bet that that's including the scene examples that come with
all the different versions of pov that you have on your machine:
You Americans just don't know how to count:-/

I get 150 not counting other peoples stuff off NGs and off the web 
and not counting all the demos that I've got with various patches
and versions of POV, and not counting any backups.  Before all of
thsi was taken into accout the figure was 939.
